Coronations – real and imagined – on the screen: the outrageously disrespectful, the controversial and the tasteful

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, May 2, 2023

Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 drew 20 million viewers on the BBC.

Key Points: 
  • Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 drew 20 million viewers on the BBC.
  • But one thing was clear: the cameras would avert their gaze at the most sacred moment of the ceremony.
  • In 2023, coronation planners feel the same: the cameras will again avert their gaze as Archbishop Justin Welby anoints Charles III.

Coronations on the screen

    • The King’s Speech (2010) showed behind-the-scenes preparation for George VI’s coronation in 1937, including George’s concerns at speaking without a stutter.
    • The tasteful planning in 1953 to preserve the holiness of the coronation contrasts with other versions of the coronation on British television.
    • One of the most outrageously disrespectful depictions of a televised coronation is a 1977 episode of the famous comedy series The Goodies.
    • Whether we laugh at comedy or are absorbed by drama, we have seen television as less than respectful of sacred mysteries.
